I see what you're saying now. I see no indication whatsoever that Kojirou is homosexual in the original version. The only thing even close to it is when he crossdresses, which is only for comedic relief.

Heh, what can I say? Basing my assumptions off of recent episodes that sucked was a bad idea. >.> I'm quite warming up to it the more I go back and watch it again.

Agreed. :x

I agree totally with everything you just said, but you are not wrong on the episode being a stupid filler( I still think it is). I never really understood why the writers would do the whole crossdressing thing. Jessie and James do it most of the time.

Most of the time? It's been years since Kojirou crossdressed multiple times in a row. o_O He only does it once in a blue moon now. And really, crossdressing doesn't mean you're gay. It's simply for comedic relief.

Perhaps, but really, an agry swarm of Spear does seem to be a little more terrifying than some other kind of group that could be replaced with. :\ It's like I said, they're really like bees. What other kind of animal goes off attacking anything in groups/swarms to defend themselves when disturbed that's in the Pokémon kingdom?

Didn't that Corocoro magazine say that this episode would involve Takeshi and bring up the fact that he used to raise an Iwaaku and Ishitsubute? Sure didn't seem like it. What a jip. I didn't like how Gomazou's Hidden Power is first presented neither (I was thinking Satoshi would actually be around and take note of it being a new attack). Oh well, it was a good episode nontheless, as everyone's been saying. Juptle presents us with yet another outstanding battle, and I agree with everyone else about how cool Kojirou looked in that one scene (not often you get to see him going solo).

There were some nice, little details worth pointing out in this episode as well. For instance, when everyone's in the river, they're all flailing their arms and stuff.... except Heigani. As you can expect of the crayfish, water's only natural to him, so he just floats down the river with a rather normal expression on his face (noticing it, I couldn't help but laugh). And did anyone else notice that Gomazou jumped in front of Zenigame when they were in the cage? Are the writers trying to set up some relationship there, or what? There was also that scene where Rocket Dan were freaking out when Iwaaku challenged Satoshi to a battle. Nyaasu translates Iwaaku, they all come to the realization that he's challenging him, and suddenly, they feel as though they're all screwed XD (despite how much they pursue in getting Pikachu and fighting against him, they sure aren't one to underestimate Satoshi in any other given situation).

Why the hell does Zenigame have CGI bubbles but not Heigani? Oh well, with multiple water-types on the team, we need as much variation as we can get (CGI bubbles is already an improvement over the bland, usual Water Gun, so it's nice to see Haruka's Zenigame using it more often). Also, is this the first time that Bubble/Bubblebeam has a vapor cloud effect after impact? I didn't notice in earlier episodes, but if this is the first time, I must say it's a real nice touch.

Yup, classes again. I'm gonna be at this for a while.

I translate for #Pocketmonsters (just because I know Japanese does not make me Japanese, stop PMing me).

Ah, good stuff Yamato. I was wondering if someone else other than me would notice (I forgot to mention it in my summery. ._.) the whole Squirtle and Phanpy thing that was going on in this episode. (Obviously, I don't mean that in a relationship sense. More of a older brother sister/guardian type relationship.)

There's a difference between the Boss Fantasies and the Beedrill chases, people. -_- The Boss Fantasies are usually very funny and contain some weird a*s s*it. Like in the first Factory episode. Giovanni. In boxers. And who can forget Chibi Gio in the helicopter with his giant nut?

The Beedrill chases, however, are the same damned thing over and over. Funny thing is, I think THEY think WE find them funny.

I'm liking the attention given to Phanpy. It had the least bit of character development since it hatched, but at least they're continuing with the 'big brother' personality it showed in the first Cleffa episode. Surely it's gotten a lot more mature, and much stronger as well(I think its new Hidden Power attack is a representation of that). Methinks Phanpy's gonna get quite a bit of the spotlight this season...^_^
